- catalog abstract ""Doing Business with the Nazis covers an important aspect of the history of the interwar years: Britain's financial and economic relations with the Third Reich. The book analyses official British policy, the interaction of government and business in Britain, and relations between British business interests and Nazi Germany. It also challenges conventional interpretations, which allege that a conspiratorial programme of economic appeasement was advanced by City-based politico-economic interests." "Doing Business with the Nazis illustrates how the dilemma over Britain's changing international role was made more acute by domestic constraints. Financial and commercial interests competed with each other for influence; but such interests also had to contend with divisions within government itself. No consensus could be reached on how to redefine the national interest. The institutions of the state, confronted with the growing menace of Nazi Germany and a worsening international climate, ultimately failed to devise mechanisms that could reconcile all of the different political, economic and military-strategic considerations. The book offers, therefore, a new contribution to the wider debates on business, politics and the state."--Jacket.".
